Captures the flavour of the '80s well. Look forward to reading more. Small thing, but while Trevor Summers was on the board when we were relegated from Div. 2 to Div. 3 in '91, wasn't it John Silk who was in the chair at the time? If memory serves, Silk was interviewed saying we'd get bigger crowds in Div. 3 in the aftermath of relegation. Seem to remember he came in for a lot of flack for that, even if history eventually proved him right. Think Silk remained in charge through the full Gould season that failed to see us escape Div. 3 and ended in the Gay Meadow coffin parade. A quick check of a programme or two leads me to believe that Summers came in as chair in summer '92 - the Ardiles year.

Great stuff. Looking forward to reading the book, when it comes out. Any idea when that will be?
